The owner of a Nottingham café has said she is considering the future of the business after the price of her car parking spot went up by 40 per cent. Denise Morton, co-owner of Mary's Kitchen in Southwell Road, Sneinton, was billed £105 for a month's parking at Manvers Street on Sunday, November 27 - up from £75 a month.
The 56-year-old, from Gedling, uses her car to get to suppliers throughout the day and said she felt "very much let down" by Nottingham City Council, which runs the car park. The authority said despite the increase, monthly permits still represented "good value for money".
Ms Morton, who parks at the city centre site from Monday to Saturday, said she was given no warning of the price hike. "I went to pay on Sunday evening and it had gone with no warning or explanation from them," she told Nottinghamshire Live.
